Local adaptation is at the core of Bay Area adaptation

• Disproportionate impacts to

disadvantaged communities

• Unintended flood impacts
• Delay due to more pressing

concerns

• Near-term loss of wetlands
• Impacts to jobs + businesses
• Lack of incentive solve common

problems jointly

• No way to measure collective

progress

But Local Only adaptation will lead to sub-optimal Local and Regional

THE GOOD NEWS: A Foundation for Action

Over the next 6 months, develop and adopt a regional, consensus-driven strategy that lays out the actions necessary to adapt the Bay Area to rising sea level to protect people and the natural and built environment

Purpose

• 3. Adopt the

Joint Platform by committing to act and act together

+

• 2. Develop a

Joint Platform

• f shared

priority actions

+

• 1. Develop

Guiding Principles for Bay Area adaptation to rising sea levels

How do we get there?

Vision

A Bay Area that Is Resilient to Rising Sea Level

Start with a shared vision...

Practice Inclusive, Collaborative Governance and Decision Making Support Socially Vulnerable Communities Solve Collaborative Problems Together Don’t Hold Back Early Movers but Play the Long Game Go Green Where Appropriate Pick the Right Strategy for the Right Place and Right Time Guiding Principles Vision

A Bay Area that Is Resilient to Rising Sea Level

…supported by Guiding Principles…

Practice Inclusive, Collaborative Governance and Decision Making Support Socially Vulnerable Communities Solve Collaborative Problems Together Don’t Hold Back Early Movers but Play the Long Game Go Green Where Appropriate Pick the Right Strategy for the Right Place and Right Time Vision

A Bay Area that Is Resilient to Rising Sea Level

• What are the necessary steps to ensure

that Bay Area jurisdictions plan together toward shared regional outcomes?

• How can we support local adaptation

planning in a way that is consistent, equitable and accessible to resource- constrained local jurisdictions?

• How can we expedite the delivery of

high-quality adaptation projects?

...to shape a strategy that addresses regional adaptation questions…

• Practice inclusive, community-led governance and decision-

making

• Support socially vulnerable communities
• Solve collaborative problems together
• Don’t hold back early movers, but play the long game
• Go green where appropriate
• Pick the right strategy for the right place at the right time

Adapt Faster

• Unlock and align funding +

financing

• Fast-track implementation
• Remove barriers

Bay Adapt seeks regional Agreement around how to: Adapt Better

• Reduce risk collectively
• Prioritize and act regionally
• Elevate local adaptation

BCDC role is to lead a dialogue, not dictate final word

First Phase in Regional Adaptation

What does a Bay Area that is resilient to rising sea level look like? What are specific steps or actions that the region can take?
